How to create custom beacons and strobes from scratch

Post by teenage modder »

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to create custom strobe lights. I know how to create a model for the light bar, but the nodes and beams are confusing me.

Creating a light bar is actually not difficult if you can already work with a 3D program. The light source itself, such as the LEDs (staticLight in the GE), requires Vertex color. Here is a tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ufzj6G0XwY

After creating the light nodes. Do I need to create an animation or do I need to code a rotation for a beacon. I’m pretty sure with a non rotating strobe you can just code in the nodes and the double blink triple wait part but I don’t know about rotating beacons
